is one neverending drama story. Love it.
I moved in with my friend Devin and her boyfriend Casey, and got a job at Jack in the Box. Yeah, I know, it's not one of the classiest jobs, but it'll do for being a slacker and paying bills. Devin and Casey are their own set of issues; basically, they have a million small fights throughout the day, and one huge fight every week. On the plus side though, Devin has never had a NICE roommate like me, who actually does chores when she asks and contributes all sorts of nice stuff to the household. I bought a 27" tv, a new controller and extension cord for the ps2 and a couple of games, and lots of little things; I also run errands like returning videos. Cheers if you've ever had a better roommate than me.
Ran into Wendy at Denny's on Monday. Whooo boy, I bet she regrets all those comments she left me! Basically, Jo and I sat there whispering nasty things about her, like how fat she's gotten (and how thin I am!) and laughing and cackling maniacally with GLEE! Well, me more so than her. Basically, for an hour and a half Wendy was trying to hide underneath her hoodie (which just made her ass and fat rolls hang out the back like a tube of Pillsbury muffin dough after you twist it); then she tried hiding behind a bottle of ketchup, which just made Jo and I laugh even harder. So she got to see me having a good time at her expense, and I bet that'll teach her to bother me. Oh, and she had this skinny redhaired fag with her; since she's a fat fag hag now, I can only assume the skinny redhaired fag with her was this "Josh" who left the second comment. I hope it was, because I could toss that fag around like a rag doll. Anyway, they finally left in disgust and I got to get her back for bothering me. Saw her there again on Wednesday or Thursday, and I behaved myself (I only wanted to get her back for the comments, not start the old drama again). So I think Monday was enough unless she starts up again.
Then there was Tuesday's shit. Basically, I hung out with Jo, Tara, Seth, and Jo's boyfriend Sam down at the Spar. Sam pretty much started calling me an asshole (nicely), and telling me that I'm self-centered (agreed) and he's not, and that makes him a good person, and why can't I not be self-centered. This sparked a big argument because I'm not an uncaring asshole, as anyone who knows me well knows that I'm only a bit of an asshole on the surface--I actually have layers, and the surface asshole in me is there to get rid of anyone who isn't smart enough to look beneath the surface. Kudos to Jo for actually telling me I have layers, that was one of the best compliments I've ever received. Anyway, speaking of compliments, Sam was telling me that I'm always insulting Joanna (like pointing out that her eyebrows make her look like a Vulcan, so now I point and call her Lt. Saavik) and that I don't compliment anyone. The girls at the table were forced to agree that I give compliments, just not everyday, and that I don't give comments everyday so that when I compliment someone, they'll know I mean it. So anyway, just because I was pissed off at Sam for saying I'm not a good person and I don't give enough compliments, I started giving sincere compliments to the girls--Tara, love your eyes, Jo, I love the way you make horrid faces when you're nervous--which of course is totally out of character for me and frightened the girls terribly. "IT'S WEIRD for Deome to be complimenting us! Stop it!" etc. I also pointed out that I'm better at things like, oh, noticing that the girls are intensely pissed off and bored by our argument, that I actually listen to them and value their opinions. Especially Jo since she's his girlfriend and he's acting like she's not even there. The evening ended by me telling Jo that I'm happy she's found a good (well, better than anyone she's ever dated) boyfriend, and that it would be best if she didn't bring us together to hang out again cuz he'd probably get really pissy about me and give her the "him or me" line. See what a good friend I am?
So basically the three of us hung out again yesterday, and basically the same shit happened. Also, he has this annoying habit of arguing in circles, which made having a decent argument (knock knock, "I'm here for an argument." "Are you here for the full half hour, or just the five minutes?") pretty much impossible. Also, he's very argumentative and loves to argue, but at the same time he gets pretty emotionally worked up when he's having (and losing) an argument. Basically, he was losing the argument (this time that I should be courteous and friendly on that surface layer), and finally got up and left saying goodbye to me and pointing out that I hadn't once said a polite word such as "thank you" to the Denny's server. After he walked off I pointed out to Jo that he hadn't said goodbye to her (his girlfriend after all, who had stayed out of the argument), and yet he was lecturing ME about pleasantries. Hmph.
So poor Jo, she's having the same problems with her boyfriend not liking me as Tara had with Jeff. I hope I'm not inadvertantly destroying another relationship (I have a history as the bane of all relationships...hell if I know why. All I can tell is that somehow I just break up couples, and that it's probably the reason karma has decided to keep me single).
There's a whole lot more drama going on this week, but I'm not going to put it in print. Not until after the arrests, at least :D
